Road Trip! - Day 1



Well, we made it - we are off on our road trip that meanders through California along the coast up to Fort Bragg and then down through Sacramento, the gold country and finally, Yosemite.

Day one was a travel day - stopping for lunch in Santa Barbara and arriving at our hotel in Cambria - just a few miles shy of San Simeon and Hearst Castle - our first stop tomorrow. I had read that there was a good skimboarding spot in Cambria and it turns out that our hotel was just down the street.

Two problems with this...one, Cambria has been socked in with fog for months - temperature was about 57 degrees and the water was chilly even with Andy's wet suit. He lasted about 20 minutes and we headed directly for the jacuzzi at the hotel to warm him up. Nice beach though, good little skim spot.

On to Hearst Castle tomorrow.

T, J & A

My mom and I stayed in Cambria a number of years ago and had a wonderful time. Sounds like you're off to a great start!
